The most visited sites in this country music state include the famous Grand Ole Opry concert hall and Graceland, a popular landmark and famed former home of Elvis Presley - an American actor and singer and one of the most iconic artists of the 20th century. To enjoy some family bonding time, Dollywood is an Appalachian-themed amusement park with varieties of thrilling rides and for those who love nature and adventure, Cades Cove offers the chance of wildlife viewing. If you are looking for the perfect accommodation while staying amid nature, here is a list of the best spots for glamping in Tennessee, USA.
